There are two main reasons now to go to Pelio. One is the inconceivable beauty of the landscape, which captivates your gaze from the first moment you see it. The second is the dreamlike guesthouse, Arhontiko Hatziargyri, in picturesque Portaria. The area it stands in is indeed like a dream; a landscape which flirts with the past as it discreetly opens a doorway into fantasy.

This unique, well-maintained guesthouse offers an unrivalled, masterly combination
of the advantages of a luxury hotel and the privileged service which only a
family-run business can guarantee. The primary aim of the guesthouse is to take personal care of each guest. |
Built in a traditional architectural style using locally produced building materials from Pelio, the guesthouse blends the old harmoniously with the new, and the whole place is suffused with an atmosphere of warmth and cosiness.
Always remaining one step ahead, the Douvlis family has skilfully and tastefully renovated the stylish mansion to welcome a discerning clientele which loves tradition, immaculate service and a friendly approach.
As you enter Arhontiko Hatziargyri you are greeted by three tastefully decorated sitting rooms, all with traditional, handmade furniture. In each one there is a beautiful fireplace, promising moments of true relaxation on those winter days and nights when a little extra warmth is called for.

When you enter the mansion's rooms, you begin to realise
that reality has just become a thing of the past. Your journey into the land of dreams is at its starting point and the triple promise of calm, contentment and cosiness begins to take on flesh and bone. |
Whichever of the six rooms you select, you will find yourself welcomed into a distinctively decorated environment. Alternatively, you may choose the impressive suite, with its own fireplace, where your spirits will literally soar up and away into a neo-classical yesteryear.
Each room has its own luxury en suite bathroom, central heating and television, ensuring maximum comfort and relaxation for every guest.
The mansion serves a hearty breakfast using healthy local produce which, in summer, you can enjoy out in the lush green courtyard, from where there is a view of beautiful Makrynitsa and the slopes of Mount Pelio.
The charming Arhontiko Hatziargyri is just one more reason to visit lovely Pelio and lose yourself in its magic. Its chic, carefully chosen design is a lesson in style and its friendly owners remind us what the expression "the good life" really means. All in old, rest assured that your stay there will not simply be good. It will be superb.
